Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY: Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.

ACTION: Notice of a new routine use of records for PBGC-3, Employee

Payroll, Leave and Attendance Records--PBGC.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation is proposing a new

routine use of records for a system of records maintained pursuant to

the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, entitled PBGC-3, Employee Payroll,

Leave and Attendance Records--PBGC. The new routine use will permit

disclosure of records to the United States Department of the Interior

to effect payments to employees.

DATES: Comments on the new routine use must be received on or before

May 24, 1996. The new routine use will become effective June 10, 1996,

without further notice, unless comments result in a contrary

determination and a notice is published to that effect.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to the Office of the General Counsel,

Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, 1200 K Street, NW., Washington,

DC 20005-4026, or hand-delivered to Suite 340 at the above address

between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Comments will be

available for inspection at the PBGC's Communications and Public

Affairs Department, Suite 240, at the above address between 9 a.m. and

4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: D. Bruce Campbell, Attorney, Pension

Benefit Guaranty Corporation, Office of the General Counsel, 1200 K

Street, NW., Washington, DC 20005-4026, 202-326-4123 (202-326-4179 for

TTY and TDD). These are not toll-free numbers.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PBGC maintains certain personnel and

payroll information in a Privacy Act system of records entitled PBGC-3,

Employee, Payroll, Leave and Attendance files--PBGC. Certain payroll

and personnel services are performed for the PBGC by the United States

Department of Labor (``DOL''). Routine use 1 to PBGC-3 permits

disclosure of records to DOL ``to effect payments to employees.''

Beginning in July 1996, the PBGC is implementing a new personnel

and payroll system utilizing the United States Department of the

Interior's (``DOI's'') personnel and payroll processing system.

Accordingly, PBGC is establishing a new routine use of records for

PBGC-3, routine use 2, that will permit disclosure of records ``to the

United States Department of the Interior to effect payments to

employees.'' When testing of the PBGC's new personnel and payroll

system is complete and services are provided exclusively by DOI, the

PBGC will cease disclosing records to DOL and publish a Federal

Register notice deleting routine use 1 from PBGC-3.

For the convenience of the public, PBGC-3, as amended, is published

in full below with new routine use 2 italicized.

Issued in Washington, DC this 18 day of April, 1996.
